Dear N Joel 
 
Official information request for information regarding OIA requests 
received in 2019 
 
I refer to your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982 dated 4 
February 2020: 
 
“I am writing to request a list all Official Information Act requests received by 
the University in the 2019 calendar year. 
 
May I please request that that list preferably be presented in a table, and answer 
the following; 
 
i) The date the request was received, 
ii) What the request or question was, 
iii) If the request was accepted or rejected, 
iv) If rejected, on what grounds was it rejected, 
v) or if accepted, the date on which the request was fulfilled.” 

 
The University has prepared the attached table to provide you with the requested 
information.   
 
Please note that the detail in the request column is taken verbatim from the actual 
request received by the University and, as such, spelling and grammatical errors have not 
been corrected.  The University has anonymised some requests where those requests 
related to specific individuals and summarised others where the subject matter of the 
request was not immediately obvious (for example, where a request related to the content 
of an email that had been sent previously to the requester). 
 
If you wish to discuss this response with us, please feel free to contact me at 
[VUW request email]. 
 
 
Yours sincerely
